This was such an interesting mix of fantasy, horror and mystery. So good. The main characters reminded me other famous trios from other authors (Lindgren, Riordan, Rowling) and their relationships with each other made me laugh a lot. I adored George and loved Lucy, but Lockwood was too much of a dar...

Another library find. While I feel I would have enjoyed the 'spooky' parts more when I was younger (Middle grade, or high school age) I still really enjoyed this one! I didn't find it very scary like I've seen others mention, but for a kid's book, it definitely has some places that make you want to ...

This was a really fun read, I enjoyed the characters (mostly), the ghosts, the cases and the "mystery". The banter between the kids was fun at times, and at others it was a little too immature or outright offensive (I'll get to that). But maybe that's to be expected of... 14/15 year-olds? (I want to...

I am so happy I had this book recommended to me! I asked for some spooky reads for October and a friend and librarian suggested the Lockwood and Co. series. She certainly was right in the fact that this series is actually bone chilling creepy!! Lucy lives in a world where the streets are haunted ...

It didn't quite catch me, interesting concept with ghosts being a plague on humans and children being more able to to see them, the ability fading with time, which makes them the best people to hunt them. Three children join forces in their own company, A. J. Lockwood & Co., who are in trouble so t...

I'm on my second cup of coffee for the morning, so please pardon any rambling I might do. I'm only running at about 50% today. Three day weekends are both a blessing and a curse. That being said, I'm prepared to do a massive amount of gushing about this book. Settle in friends, it's time for a glowi...
